Creating a campaign is slightly more complicated, but here is the code:
// Instantiate our class
$wpMailChimpFramework = wpMailChimpFramework::getInstance();
$ccParams = array();
$ccParams['type'] = 'regular';
$ccParams['options']['list_id'] = 'cc55x5555xs';
$ccParams['options']['subject'] = 'Test Newsletter Subject';
$ccParams['options']['from_email'] = 'example@example.com';
$ccParams['options']['from_name'] = 'Xavisys - Repurposed Marketing';
$ccParams['options']['tracking']=array('opens' => true, 'html_clicks' => true, 'text_clicks' => false);
$ccParams['options']['authenticate'] = true;
$ccParams['options']['analytics'] = array('google'=>'my_google_analytics_key');
$ccParams['options']['title'] = 'Test Newsletter Title';
$ccParams['content'] = array(
'html'=>'some pretty html Xavisys content |UNSUB| message',
'text' => 'text http://xavisys.com text text |UNSUB|'
);
/
// OR use a template
$ccParams['content'] = array(
'html_main'=>'some pretty html content',
'html_sidecolumn' => 'this goes in a side column',
'html_header' => 'this gets placed in the header',
'html_footer' => 'the footer with an |UNSUB| message',
'text' => 'text content text content |UNSUB|'
);
$ccParams['options']['template_id'] = "1";
/
// Create the Campaign and var_dump so we can see the result
$campaign = $wpMailChimpFramework->campaignCreate($ccParams);
var_dump($campaign);
Here is what you can expect to see:
array(1) {
["id"]=>
string(10) "xxx0x078xx"
}
To test a campaign without actually sending it (each campaign can only be sent once), use this code:
// Instantiate our class
$wpMailChimpFramework = wpMailChimpFramework::getInstance();
$campaignTestParam = array(
'cid' => 'xxx0x078xx',
'test_emails' => array(
'example@example.com',
'example2@example.com',
)
);
// Send the test campaign and var_dump so we can see the result
$campaign = $wpMailChimpFramework->campaignSendTest($campaignTestParam);
var_dump($campaign);
Here is what you can expect to see:
bool(true)
